What Causes Stabbing Pain In Eye?

I have had an intense, shocking stabbing pain from either my left eye to the left side of my head or from my left side of my head to my left eye. I have had an MRI on my brain, CT of my neck, scan of my sinuses and teeth and my eye looked at by an ophthalmologist. The ONLY thing that alleviates the intense pain is penicillin! It is so strange. I do not take a regular dose of penicillin but if I take it as a maintenance drug it usually keeps my incredible pain at bay. Any suggestions? Another eye doctor or a neurologist???

you might be sensitive to pencil in. that gives rise to anaphy lactic shock. it can give rise to allergic reaction. You are taking pencil in as prophylaxis for rheumatism so not possible to avoid, can take anti allergic tablet like levcetrizinebefore pencil in or you will slowly develop sensitization to pencil in.
